Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority vested in him by the said Act, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby approve of the object for which the said license is required by the Council as aforesaid; and, in further pursuance and exercise of the said power and authority, and with the like advice and consent as aforesaid, doth hereby license and permit the Council to use and occupy that part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark on which the said wharf is to be erected, as shown on the plan M.D. 3890 so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of erecting and maintaining the said wharf; such license to be held and enjoyed by the Council upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.

SCHEDULE.

6. Any person authorized by the Minister may, at all reasonable times, enter upon the said wharf and view the state of repair thereof; and upon such Minister leaving at or posting to the last known address of the Council in New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharf, requiring it within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the same, it shall with all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made.

7. Nothing herein contained shall authorize the Council to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or inconsistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regulation of the Minister of Customs, or with any provisions of the Harbours Act, 1908, or its amendments, or any regulations made thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

10. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any time resumed by the Governor, without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the Council three calendar months’ previous notice in writing. Any such notice shall be sufficient if given by the Minister, and delivered at or posted to the last known address of the Council in New Zealand.

11. The Council shall be liable for any injury which the said wharf may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through any default or neglect on its part.

12. In case the Council shall—
    (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions hereinbefore set forth, or any of them; or
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf for a period of thirty days,—
    then and in either of the said cases this Order in Council, and every right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and determined by the Governor in Council without any notice to the Council or other proceeding whatsoever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the Council, and to all persons concerned or interested, that this Order in Council, and the license, rights, and privileges thereby granted and conferred, have been revoked and determined.

13. The erection of the said wharf shall be sufficient evidence of the acceptance by the Council of the terms and conditions of this Order in Council.
